Michael Olunga has shared his excitement after he was named the Outstanding Sports Personality of the Year (SOYA) in 2020. The Kenyan forward has also appreciated his teammates and fans for the support.”“(I am) Happy to have been named outstanding Sports Personality of the Year in 2020. Thanking my family, teammates, and everyone who in one way or the other helped me achieve this feat,” he wrote on Twitter. Despite a Covid-19 ravaged sports season, Olunga outscored all the players in Japan’s top-flight league in 2020, finding the back of the net a record 27 times. The feat earned him a big-money move, estimated at Sh1 billion, to top Qatari club Al Duhail SC.
